中国传统音乐
Chinese traditional music
“中国传统音乐”是指中国人运用本民族固有方法、采取本民族固有形式创造的、具有本民族固有形态特征的音乐，不仅包括在历史上产生、流传至今的古代作品，还包括当代作品。可见，传统音乐包括“国乐”但不包括“新音乐”，但它们都是“中国音乐”。
"Chinese traditional music" refers to the music created by the Chinese people in their own way, in their own form and with the characteristics of their own inherent form. It includes not only the ancient works produced and handed down in history, but also the contemporary works. It can be seen that traditional music includes "national music" instead of "new music", but they are all "Chinese music".
传统音乐是我国民族音乐中一个极为重要的组成部分，传统音乐与新音乐的区别并不在于创作时间的先后，而是在于其表现形式及风格特征。
Traditional music is a very important part of our national music. The difference between traditional music and new music is not in the order of creation time, but in its form and style.
